Andalusian Breast Cancer Screening Delays Spark Lawsuit, Criminal Complaint
The Andalusian breast cancer screening program has been marred by delays, leading to a collective lawsuit and a criminal complaint. The Amama association has documented cases of women offered money for tests in private centers due to desperation. The program's shortcomings have resulted in deaths, with Ángela Claverol, president of Amama, revealing 'several women dead due to delays'.
Izquierda Unida has filed a complaint with the State Prosecutor's Office, accusing the last three health advisors of 'serious errors'. The complaint alleges 'imprudent homicide by omission', 'imprudent injuries by omission', and 'neglect of the duty to provide healthcare services'. Amama is preparing a collective lawsuit against the Andalusian health system, with Claverol describing the situation as 'a catastrophe'. The association argues that the lack of early diagnosis has caused breast cancer to progress and, in some cases, lead to patient deaths. The complaint also considers any 'omission or delay in the review of inconclusive results' as a lack of diligence in public management.
